- Berkeley Design Automation
Berkeley Design Automation, Inc. is an electronic design automation (EDA) software company, headquartered in Santa Clara, California. The company develops software for advanced analog/RF integrated circuit verification. Founded in 2003, the company is funded by Woodside Fund, Bessemer Venture Partners, Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. Ltd., and NTT Corporation.
Berkeley Design Automation tools include Analog FastSPICE™ circuit simulator, RF FastSPICE™ periodic analyzer, and PLL Noise Analyzer™. Typical applications include characterizing complex blocks such as PLLs, analog-to-digital converters, and transmit/receive chains and running performance simulation of full circuits such as wireless transceivers, wireline transceivers, high-speed I/O macros, memories, microcontrollers, data converters, and power converters.
